What you need

  • B.S./M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • 3+ years (Software Engineer) / 5+ years (Senior Software Engineer) of experience in autonomous driving, robotics architecture, or spatial computing
  • Expert proficiency in production-grade C++ (Modern C++14/17/20, multi-threading, memory management)
  • Strong prototyping proficiency in Python
  • Robust foundational knowledge in path planning (e.g., A*, Dijkstra, Hybrid A*, sampling-based planners like RRT*) and kinematic/dynamic vehicle models
  • Deep understanding of robotics fundamentals, including coordinate transformations, spatial geometry, and state estimation

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with numerical trajectory optimization methods (e.g., MPC, QP/Nonlinear optimization, interior-point methods) and optimization solvers (e.g., OSQP, Ipopt, Ceres Solver)
  • Hands-on experience working with HD map formats (Lanelet2, OpenDRIVE) and modern end-to-end learning frameworks (e.g., MapTR, VectorNet)
  • Proven track record of exporting complex deep learning architectures via ONNX and deploying them into real-time C++ production environments using TensorRT
  • Proven track record of developing algorithms for map anomaly detection, sensor-to-map misalignments, or online scene-change identification
  • Knowledge of real-time operating systems (RTOS), deterministic software execution, and safety-critical software design principles

What you get

  • Base salary range for Software Engineer position is $141,463–$235,182 annually
  • Base salary range for Senior Software Engineer position is $169,783–$282,264 annually
  • Bonus, equity, and benefits included

Worth weighing

  • No specific information on company culture or team structure is provided
  • The role involves working with complex systems which may require a steep learning curve for new technologies
  • The position is focused on safety-critical systems, which may imply high-pressure responsibilities
